Advanced oxidation processes (AOP) are characterised by a common chemical feature : the capacity of exploiting the highreactivity ofHO radicals in driving oxidation processes which are suitable for achieving the complete abatement and through mineralization of even less reactive pollutants.The different AOP are considered accordingly to their real applications for water pollutions abatement-Memyldiethanolamine (MDEA) is an alkanolamine used in tail gas treating and hydrogen sulfide enrichment units for selectively removing hydrogen sulfide from gas streams containing carbon dioxide. Memyldiethanolamine is also used in natural gas plants for the bulk removal of carbon dioxide.During recycling process,an amount of MDEA is rejected andbecome waste water.The purpose of this research is to study a suitable AOP that canapply for waste water contained MDEA treatment.This type of method is called an AOP using UV light.
